This seems like something that should be painfully obvious, but for whatever reason I can’t figure it out. From within powershell, I’d like to be able to print the contents of a text file to the host window (or pipe it into another command). I’m looking for something like this:

PS C:\> {some command} README.TXT
These are the contents of the Readme.txt file!

    You are looking for:

    get-content README.TXT
    

    In short:

    gc README.TXT
    

    If you are used to cat, you can use that too, it is just an alias for the above in Powershell.
